Drunk Canadian comedian insults drunk Canadian lesbian hecklers. Hilarity ensues? Not quite. Actually, a Human Rights complaint ensues. Ezra Levant explains: Did you hear the one about the Joke Police?
...In May, 2007, Earle was hosting a comedy night at Zesty's restaurant in Vancouver. He says a couple of lesbians came in, got drunk and starting making out right in front of the stage. He said they also heckled him and other comedians.
In other words, like anyone else -- gay, straight or otherwise -- they set themselves up for some wise-cracks. And crack wise Earle did.
But didn't he know he was in the People's Republic of British Columbia?...
More at the link. Here's the comedian himself telling the tale:
Once again we give thanks for a welcome difference between America and the world: The Constitution and its 1st Amendment.
Now I see the where they got the idea for the "Great White North" segment on the old Second City TV comedy show. These guys all seemed to have given up some brain cells to beer.
That said, I'll add that I think this comic's story was chilling. It seems that, whenever you have a dominant militant ideology (fascism, the Chinese Cultural Revolution, etc.), you're going to have tin-pot bullies who are presumably fighting for a cause, but who are really just looking for an excuse to push people around.
Those militant lezbos were being provocative with their lezbo antics (tongue and tonsil kissing) in the front row at the Comedy show.
Then a lezbo threw two drinks in the guys face.
The club should have called the cops and had the lezbos arrested for disorderly conduct.
I'm on the comedians side. How would the lezbos feel if he went to their place of work and started making out with a hot chick who didn't want anything to do with lezbos?
